La bibliothèque de l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) est une bibliothèque de recherche spécialisée en art et archéologie. Ses collections proviennent de la Bibliothèque d'art et d'archéologie, fondée vers 1910 par Jacques Doucet puis donnée à l'Université de Paris en 1918. En 2016, elles se sont enrichies de celles de la Bibliothèque centrale des musées nationaux, installée au sein du palais du Louvre et dont les origines remontent à 1791.
The collection includes hundreds of volumes in the regional languages of France. We also hold a collection of newspapers and ephemera from the 1848 Revolution, collections of caricatures from the Franco-Prussian War and the Paris Commune (1870-1871), and of posters and ephemera from the First World War.

Enfer ("Hell") from the Bibliothèque nationale de France is one of the most storied and sought-after private case collections of forbidden books. The name alone invokes visions of damnation and moral ruin should one delve into its scandalous volumes. The collection was created in the 1830s to protect and isolate works that were considered contrary to the morals of the time. As with later private cases, the entire collection was kept in a locked section of the library, accessible only by application to the Director-General of the Bibliothèque and approval by an advisory committee of curators.
Enfer is made up of more than 2,400 literary works, manuscripts, engravings, lithographs, and photographs.
